The guys from Canada saying they are better have no idea what they are
talking about. This is St. Louis hockey, roller hockey, yes, but STL is a
breeding ground for hockey players. Also, I’ve played high school inline
and ice in STL, and am playing inline in college, and the competition is
harder than people think. Sure, ice is harder competition because more
people play it, and inline doesn’t have hitting (wish it did), but comon!
I’ve got friends in Juniors that haven’t played roller before that don’t
know how we fly around in roller blades like we do without breaking ankles.
There’s less forgiveness in skating and its a weird transition, so I will
gladly play and beat anyone thinking they can just wake up and play inline
with just an ice hockey background.

hahaha roller hockey is so fucking gay

Sudol86 says:

How much does someone make playing in a professional roller hockey league?
just curious. I honestly don’t enjoy roller as much as ice, but i’m just
curious

JoeisLemons says:

that would be sick

Hrapovik Plush says:

Why don’t you play in that league and then we’ll talk? Southside snipers
are the not the guys you will be able to dominate.

thesponge8 says:

yeah as goalie i would agree, for ice they can slide around but sliding
isnt as easy on that surface

xprettyricky23x says:

roller is slower than ice..

hoopdae66 says:

thank you sum1 else who understands

milcarb86 says:

@TheRaunchyTofu yeah right, USA PWNES Canada at roller, look at the IIHF
competitions and USA is one of the best teams historically w/ Sweden…

xxronin86xx says:

hahaah ur dumb… i know a shit ton of guys that get paid to play…. its
not anything to live off of…. but its still pay… and yes this is
“pro”…. as is MLRH and the AIHL…. n this shit is fast as hell… these
are a lot of the same guys in the NARCH pro div at tourneys. Itan n
Osterkamp play in the AIHL…. if u think theyre slow ur fuckin idiotic

hockeyruler48 says:

yah i play 2nd year peewee/ bantam house league ice and theres full contact

Justin Roberts says:

I am thinking about playing roller hockey in the off season of ice hockey
so i was wondering, is it really much different than ice hockey and are the
rules pretty much the same?

fbhockey says:

My gold division house league is faster paced than this…. these players
aren’t toooo bad i guess.. but the goalies suck asssss

A.D Anand says:

Wow that sad you guys must not be good if the goalies dont have to wear
skates. I play U 14 and they do.

Max DeCoursey says:

do they get paid

TAKECOVER222 says:

i have the same feeling like i video tape a game and i think to myself HOLY
crap am i really skating that SLOW!?! at the same time im out skating guys

dubd303 says:

pussys no hitting ice hockey is better

Blake S says:

well, ice only hurts more if you’re playing roller on sport court (those
tiles that are plastic and rubber) if you play outdoor roller hockey, which
is on concrete, falling on that hurts a lot more than falling on ice (only
because you slide on ice and when you fall on concrete you just stop)

fagel258 says:

good one!

boyrandom72 says:

the only things i hate about inline is the no hitting, it alows kids to
dangle instead of just standing them up or throwing a hip check. no
offsides is bullshit cause it allows cherry picking and way too much room
for the offense specially 4-4. n last just the way the puck moves.

ImSeanF says:

I have always had the goalie wearing skates

Nick ODonnell says:

Roller hockey and ice hockey are both awesome, I love playing roller hockey
in the summer and pond hockey in the winter! Best of both (outdoor) worlds!

hockeyiscool22 says:

i do admit roller hockey is a kinda fag hockey but i do play it a lot b/c
…1) 100% of the parking lot where i play isnt frozen and 2) my college
doesnt have ice and 3) im not pro material for the NHL and neither are my
friends so roller is the best substitute.

GS .U says:

@jerrytimes ya so far down from pro its not even funny@! lol jk:)

eaglesrule8120 says:

Or in areas that have ice. Like the south

Kevin Lavorgna says:

i used to play roller hockey for the bulldogs.. it was fun. we didn’t
pretty good. in 2009 or 2008 we went to the ‘2 hot For Ice Tournament’ But
now i play ice hockey for Southepointe Rinkrat 16u AA midget.

Everett Leach says:

what is the age grouping

theadept1234567 says:

may not look like they r that good but trust me they r. i say the samething
about the nhl sometimes but i see it live holy shit. different story

hockeyruler48 says:

no roller hockey is way faster paced trust me i play both ice and inline

english15x says:

Because the puck moves slow, inline skates move slow. ice is just faster.

xprettyricky23x says:

how do u become pro roller hockey player? id fuckin ruin these kids..

99arnoldo says:

how much do you make for pro roller hockey?

Hrapovik Plush says:

“it is easier then ice” It’s easier? It can be as hard and as physical as
you want it to be depending on the opposition. It may look slow, but so
does NHL when you see it on TV. Rinkside it’s actually really fast. I play
in that league so I know.

joey w says:

i just switched form roller to ice and ice so much more legit the kids are
way better the checking is more intense and puckhandling is harder
personally i dont think its fag i hockey but i see why people do

skates89 says:

Rollar hockey is Not faster than Ice hockey are you kidding. It is fun im
sure but come on

Evan Granstrom says:

When you can sign up to be a professional hockey player, something is wrong.

Tyler Potts says:

and people should respect roller more these guys are real talented and ill
bet u some of them played a high level of ice
